I am one of many in search of a holster. Obviously these two are what everyone has been using as you read the threads. However, I haven't read about anyone commenting on how comfortable they are while driving or riding in a vehicle. I have a G23 that I purchased in February and welcome any input in this matter. I have been carrying a Taurus 650 CIA with a Bianchi AccuMold which rides close to the body and I hardly know that it is there.

I have a MTAC for my 5" Kimber TLE and a ST for my G30. They are a little uncomfortable when driving but I usually just slide them a small bit towards the 12 o'clock position and they are ok. You could also increase the cant to alleviate the butt of the weapon from pushing against the seat. It's nothing I can't live with. For an extended trip I might stow the weapon in my small car safe.

I have a MTAC w/ slide version that carries a G26 everyday. It is very comfortable, dont have to adjust it any to "feel" right. But, of course its my opinion and you all know how that is. Good Luck tho!

I have found that the only issues with an MTAC in a vehicle is lack of coverage for the grips. If you are quite slim, this might not be a problem, but I am a bigger guy (6'2"/240), and I have Talon grips on my G30, so I feel like I getting sandpapered constantly. If I know I have any substantial driving, I switch over to a very comfortable holster that I picked up from a company called N82 tactical. It fully covers the grip area, isnt overly hot in the summer, and keeps a very nice low profile. The only drawback is it can be a bit difficult to re-holster. Its not a training holster, but is a very comfortable alternative to a hard leather or plastic, and quite affordable too, at around $40.

A couple of things addressing your question and some points made above.

I use the Crossbreed IWB at 4-5 o'clock for my G 19 and G26. I have the belt clips adjusted so that the top of the kydex is even with and parallel to the top of the waistband of my jeans. I honestly don't know it is there after I sit down and get busy doing anything else, like driving, etc. 5' 11" and 167 lbs.

I have Talon grips on all my Glocks and for my EDC weapons, I simply took some sandpaper to the bottom inch or two of the left side of the talon covered grip to take the "edge" off the talon grip. It don't take much to "dull down" that area on the Talons and then having that little bit of that side of the pistol grip up against bare skin is no longer an issue at all ... and the pistol still has that great grip that Talon gives.

Wearing an undershirt in climates where it can be tolerated seems to help too.

I got an MTAC for my 23 and its awesome. I wear an under shirt or wife beater under all my shirts. For me the leather/holster keeps the gun away from my skin even when sitting (in car etc.) Easy to draw and holster and very comfortable no matter what I'm doing.

I've carried a G26 (occasionally a G19) comfortably in an MTAC for several years - sitting, walking, driving, whatever. One thing that may affect comfort in a car is the shape of the seat back, especially any side bolsters down low. My minivan seat is just fine, but sporty seats probably will be a problem. Others? Just have to see.
